    Thank you both! For singing my song so beautifully, and with such heart, Violet. For fighting antisemitism, all of you. Heartfelt thanks. I can't sing any more, and this helped my journey through that devastation immensely.

      Beautiful, soulful voice with impeccable timing, and loved Dave's deft touch on the drums. Pianist in the interval though, needs to remember this isn't about him; his noodling was way out of step with the mood and timbre and distracted from Violet's tone. But, wow.

    You know, i dont listen as much to Foo Fighters as i used to, but the Hanukka specials, i never miss them. We dont get much special stuff in our holidays, no one tells us happy new year on Rosh HaShana or happy Pesach. In school it always made me feel so alone, most i got was a mocking from my classmates because i was absent for a special holiday, that between the regular hate and words i don't want to repeat. This is special, this is unique and makes me feel like we can be seen too, a little, even if its a small holiday, its special.
    Thank you for giving me a reason to smile every Hanukka, thanks for bringing us some light.

    Ms. Ian- This song was released while I was in high school and, while I'm male, it struck a chord with me and with many of my friends. I was thrilled when At Seventeen won the Grammy that year against stiff competition, I must confess that I hadn't thought of the song in eons and, now, hearing Violet's rendition, I feel its timelessness. No song has ever captured the feeling of being an awkward teeneager as this one does. Thank you for everything you've done, from Society's Child on. Your legacy lives on! Ray

An ever-reaching melody. Thank you, Janice. For your kind honesty and truth that has been a comfort to so many generations.
    And thank you Violet, Dave, and Greg for bringing it back in such a touching, lovely way.

The control, the emotion she brings to her phrasing, it’s something that can’t be taught, she has her dad’s feeling of rhythm, if you listen for it, she syncopates the beat when she feels it but never loses time. I remember hearing her sing backup at her very first show. This girl is going to make her own mark in the world, I can promise you, just watch!

    I just read Dave’s book and he talks about how when Violet was three years old, she was already zeroing in on harmonies, vocal styles and pitch. She probably gets it more from her grandmother Virginia who also sang. Dave is all raw shred and no vibrato. Violet is all about technique.

    I’m sure I’ve heard this song 100 times growing up- but not sure I listened to the lyrics until today. My mother adores Janice. With Janice not being able to sing any more- Violet gave Life to this song- she channeled Janice’s voice and soul in this. So rarely can an iconic song be be done so flawlessly like the original artist.
